What Computer Vision & Data Science offers

The programme covers topics such as machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, mathematics, programming and algorithm optimisation. As a student, you learn to acquire the knowledge and skills to successfully find a solution to real-life problems. You are supported by the experts of the professorship Computer Vision & Data Science who have been working in this field for many years.

Computer Vision & Data Science in practice

During your studies, you carry out practical assignments from real companies, working in groups and coached by lecturers and professionals with relevant professional experience. It’s a way of learning, an educational concept, we call Design-Based Education. You learn to draw on feedback to adapt your ideas and become more flexible, while also developing your teamwork and leadership skills.

The master’s programme is a full-time, one-year programme. Iteratively working towards the practical application of innovative solutions is at the core of the programme. In a master-apprentice style learning environment you work on real-life applied research projects, where knowledge and skills are integrated in applied research, with attention for ethics, communication skills and professional development.

Career

The vast majority of data generated every day is image data, which is why image data analysis is one of the most important focus areas for modern Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The field is evolving at such a rapid pace that the demand for image data science professionals is extremely high. In the future, any visual inspection task may be automated. It is therefore important that a new generation of applied researchers and engineers is ready to take advantage of the countless possibilities offered by modern data science.

Core tasks of an image data professional are:

Designing, developing and testing machine learning algorithms for automating visual inspections.
Creating, balancing and maintaining annotated datasets, in collaboration with domain experts.
Optimising and scaling the developed algorithms.
Carrying out methodologically correct research.
Keeping abreast of relevant and current trends and developments in the field.

As a master’s student at a university of applied sciences, you work closely with industry and usually carry out research for a particular company or organisation. This means your thesis question covers a current issue and the findings and conclusions in your final thesis are supported by both academic theory and practical insights.

The reasons to study at NHL Stenden

The things that make a difference in the world often start as ideas from people daring to question what others assume. At NHL Stenden, you work in mixed groups so you can use each other's perspectives to unravel unobvious choices. Through real-life projects you learn by doing and this, combined with your internship, truly gives you a head start on your career. With our international opportunities and study environment, you develop a global network while the extracurricular activities you can pick up mean you develop talents that help you explore beyond your studies. While this is all great for your future, we know you also need to focus on your time as a student. Which is why we aim to make NHL Stenden your home away from home, a community where you’re known by your name, so you can be the person you truly are. For us, that makes you original. And it makes NHL Stenden, home of the originals.
